[bob <bobself@charter.net>]

Now that I appear to have the driver things straightened out I'm going 
to try to run vdr.

I'm trying version 1.3.11 for now. scan and szap run perfectly.

lsmod shows:

I was able to build vdr 1.3.11.  I'm running as root (for now).

If I type ./vdr it appears to run.

/var/log/everything/current shows:

So, what am I supposed to see? Something on the tv screen? (It is black).
Do you need to be running xwindows?

thanks,
